Optical amazing!

Advantages: Amazing customer service
Disadvantages: The equipment isn't as hi tech as other places

...So after having an eye test at D&A and being scared off by the prices, I booked myself into Optical Express which is where Andrew gets his contacts from. The price of the eyetest was half the price of D&A (£15) to start with and if you purchased glasses afterwards then it would automatically be free. The eye test didn?t seem as hi-tech or extensive as D&A and nor did the equipment seem as up-to-date but the optician was friendly, made conversation and was just a genuinely nice guy and whats more important, the test results came back the same as they did at D&A; I need glasses and I have a stigmatism. The staff here are absolutely amazing and I can?t praise them highly enough. They were not only friendly and personal but they also couldn?t do enough to please me. There were four ladies in the shop and they were all helping me choose...

Unbelievable optical zoom

Advantages: Unbelievable zoom
Disadvantages: None

...Unbelievable! This camera is probably the best camera on the market for under £300. 10 Megapixels and an amazing 20x optical zoom - that's right - 20X OPTICAL ZOOM. Stunning clarity both long and short range - seriously breathtaking close ups. With a built-in dual image stabiliser, all blur associated with camera shake is eliminated to give extremely clear images. Zoom Unique moments can be caught from anywhere... the range is just class. You virtually become close enough to touch things which are metres away from you. Even when you have zoomed to the max. the pictures are still crystal clear due to the image stabilisation incorporated - therefore can be used for sporting events etc. Close-ups The Super Macro mode of the SP-570 UZ allows you to take pictures of things that are only 1cm away. Look...

Optical Express

Advantages: knowledgeable and friendly staff, professional service, well presented store, good debit scheme
Disadvantages: second set up cost when changing bank account for debit scheme

...Optical Express services, staff and admin. I have worn glasses and contacts for the past 18 years and I have been with many independent and high street stores. I recently moved to Stockport and decided to give Optical Express a try. The first impressions of the store were good. It is very clean and well lit with a good selection of glasses, cleaners and eye care products. The other eye care options such as laser surgery and regular check up reminders are clearly visible around the store. The staff are extremely friendly, knowledgeable, polite and friendly. The advice offered and help given when choosing my new contact lenses - when I switched from daily torics to monthly (one soft, one toric) - was spot on and my eyes are comfier and vision improved. The direct debit scheme is very helpful - I paid a £45 initial cost...

Zoom Zoom Zoom......

Advantages: Professionally laid out online surveys. Product testing.
Disadvantages: Some awful incentive gifts

...~~ UPDATED FEBRUARY 2006 ~~ I joined up with ZoomPanel through ipoints in December 2003. Quite frankly, I was most unimpressed with them at first. Despite promising the potential to earn rewards and cash through ZoomPoints, the first 10 or 11 surveys they offered me only qualified me for entry into a sweepstake or prize draw. I'm afraid that I very swiftly pull the plug on any survey company only offering entries into prize draws, as in over 2 years of survey work, I have yet to win anything from any survey company prize draw or raffle. I fail to see why I should spend my valuable time completing a survey for which I get little or no reward, when you can bet your bottom dollar the company hosting it is being handsomely rewarded. However, I am most glad that I gave them the benefit of the doubt, as ZoomPanel have proved to be a good...

Optical Optics...

Advantages: Functional and stylish
Disadvantages: Needed cleaning after a few weeks

...It?s well known that Apple provides a high quality optical mouse with every desktop Mac they sell. Whether it is for home use or office use, this mouse will fill most users? needs. The Kensington optical elite mouse is a good alternative to Apple?s home grown optical mouse. Design Most Mac users have now become sticklers for good looking hardware; this is thanks to Apple?s innovative designs. The first thing that anyone will notice about the optical mouse is its appearance; the sleek design of this unique mouse makes it look at home no matter what your computer is. The device is a blend of grey and blue, with a few translucent components add a bit of playfulness to the strikingly serious look. Functionality Normally with a computer peripheral that looks the part will not function very well. But unusually the optical elite does...

Come fly with me on Zoom.

Advantages: Low cost airline with Premium seating available.
Disadvantages: Only fly from a few airports in UK

...A few years ago we planned to go to Canada and cross the Rockies and then cruise to Alaska to celebrate our Ruby Wedding and retirement. But as my husband got voluntary redundancy last October we decided to bring the celebration holiday forward to this summer, why put off something that we can do now! We emailed a travel agent who specialised in Canadian travel and literally said what we wanted and what could they offer. The flight to Calgary and returning from Vancouver was with Zoom. I hadn't even heard of Zoom, my husband said it was a low cost flight. Knowing it would be a long flight I was somewhat concerned as my experiences with Easyjet and Ryanair haven't been very positive. So after doing some research online we asked the travel agent to upgrade our seats to Premium. Advantages of a Premium seat...

Optical optics the forth...

Advantages: Very easy to use
Disadvantages: Very Basic

...This is now my forth optical mouse review, this one is for the MS Basic optical mouse. This was probably the first optical mouse that I owned, as the name of the mouse suggests it is a pretty basic mouse. There are just two buttons and they aren?t programmable. The precision of the mouse This is a pretty basic mouse, so therefore the precision isn?t very top notch, although it is still suitable for most computer users needs, at the time when I had this mouse I had an older screen than my LG Flatron, and it had a resolution of 1280 x 1024, which is an average size screen. I can?t remember the make of the screen, I think it was ADC but I am not sure. Anyway on that resolution the mouse worked okay, however it did jump quite often, meaning that when you moved the mouse you couldn?t see it flowing from one side of the screen to...

Laser Surgery with Optical Express

Advantages: Very professional and friendly
Disadvantages: Can try and pressure you into extras

...I used Optical Express for laser eye surgery after my brother had his eyes done. He had the Lasek procedure carried out, which left him with dry eyes for a couple of months but almost perfect vision. After a couple of months of dithering, and after a trip to Rome getting infuriated with seeing fantastic sites through misty lenses, I decided to go ahead with the procedure. I went to the consultation in the bright an clean Leeds clinic. I was very impressed with the friendly and personal and comprehensive service I received. They carried out a number of tests on my eyes and then the consultant sat me down and went through the results with me. I was shown a couple of charts giving light and imperfection maps of my eye. One thing I will say is that they tried a very hard sell when it came to WaveFront, which is apparantly a procedure...

Bouchard Optical Wipes

Advantages: Work really well
Disadvantages: None

...Bouchard Optical Wipes are a real boon. They come in a small cardboard box> The box in itself is interesting as you can either open it at the top or lower down, you can break a dotted line, instead, and open it that way. Inside you will find 16 individual wipes safely sealed in little pockets. You can keep these in a wallet, a bag, a purse, a pocket or a case until you need to use them. I was always having trouble with my lenses. I thought that, somehow, I had scratched them or damaged them in some other way, as there was always a strange, "dulling" mark on he centre of the spectacle lenses that, try how I might, I could never seem to be able to clean off. One day, whilst browsing through Home Bargains (please see my review on Home Bargains) when I saw Bouchard Optical Lens Wipes. 16 Individually Wrapped Wipes for the grand...
